Sudan lifts year-old embargo on Egypt commodities

Sudan has lifted its embargo on Egyptian goods, President Omar Al-Bashir said today during a visit to Khartoum by his Egyptian counterpart Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi.

Addressing a joint press conference, Al-Bashir confirmed that he had issued a presidential decree officially ending the year-old embargo.

“I have just issued a presidential decree lifting the embargo on Egyptian commodities as part of our efforts to enhance bilateral relations and encourage the movement of goods,” Al-Bashir told reporters.

Sudan’s embargo on Egyptian commodities first came into effect in May last year.

Al-Sisi, for his part, said that he and Aal-Bashir had inked 11 separate cooperation agreements, including one for the construction of shared electricity and rail networks.
